“You made it perfect”: IFU translation for a vein visualization device company 

Why Language Scientific?

Based in Medford, NY, AccuVein manufactures laser-based vein visualization devices. 

After a sub-par experience with a previous medical translation provider, AccuVein needed a new partner to translate their instructions for use (IFUs) into 10 languages. 

AccuVein’s main need: a language services company with regulatory compliance experience in the European Union. With a 99.7% on-time delivery record, commitment to medical-grade accuracy, and experience managing complex, multilingual medical device projects, Language Scientific emerged as the obvious choice. 

The Problem 

AccuVein produces real-time vein-viewing systems; medical devices that use near-infrared technology to display an image of a patient’s veins on the skin. This helps clinicians avoid veins to minimize bruising during cosmetic procedures, and makes IV starts and blood draws faster and safer. 

AccuVein’s challenges included:

  • A poor experience with a previous translation provider 
  • EU regulatory compliance expectations 
  • One set of instructions for use (IFUs) to be translated into 10 languages 
  • Document formatting for specific jurisdictions

Results

Actions Taken

  • Exceeded the client’s expectations for timeliness, cost, and project delivery after a poor experience with a previous translation provider 
  • Used life science and regulatory expertise to deliver certified translations of IFUs into 10 languages 
  • Complied with document formatting requirements for specific jurisdictions across the European Union
